See more Product Details Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Ltd; Unabridged edition (October 27, 2011) Language: English Product Dimensions: 5.6 x 0.6 x 5.2 inches Shipping Weight: 5 ounces By S. Gould on January 7, 2012 Format: Hardcover My 7 year old son thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, which is funny but also touches on serious life issues around relationships and loved ones passing. In some ways it is very British (which is of particular interest to my son because he was born in England) but it should entertain and interest most children. The development of the relationship between Ben and his grandmother, and with his parents, can be enthralling for kids, and is skillfully articulated for the target age. By KK on November 24, 2014 Format: Paperback|Verified Purchase My son and I absolutely loved this book. It tells the story of a boy who thinks his old Granny is boring with her smelly Cabbage soup and Scrabble play and how their relationship develops throughout the story.

The story covers many issues which are sometimes uncomfortable but good learning for children who may otherwise come from great upbringings. One of which is his somewhat dysfunctional parents who are more interested in their obsession with ballroom dancing then their son. Later you see this relationship improve. The other being the relationship between a young child and his grandmother and how age inevitable leads to the topic of dying. The boy dreads Friday nights at Grannys house until one day when trying to get himself a treat from the biscuit tin high on the shelf he discovers it holds diamonds. Granny then makes up stories about her jewel heists. From there you follow the hilarious adventure as the two of them plan an attempt to steal the Crown Jewels. The ending is brilliant and having never cried in a kidâs book before I was pausing many times to gain composure as I read on with my son. By gottaread on January 5, 2017 Format: Hardcover|Verified Purchase Very funny book! My son enjoyed reading it. He appreciated that there is action and suspense combined with the humor. He learned that he appreciates British humor. Granny is a favorite character of ours. We laughed out loud at and with her. She is hilarious.

The book is original. I'm hard pressed to think of any other book like it. I enjoyed reading this tween book. It is clever and creative. If a boy or girl doesn't like to read, this is probably a good book. I believe reluctant readers will enjoy the intrigue and humor enough to stay engaged and want to read it. By Clare O'Beara on August 15, 2015 Format: Kindle Edition A young boy is left with his Granny each Friday night in a Roald Dahl-ish tale. He hates how boring and old and slow she is, how she only ever eats cabbage and smells bad and plays Scrabble. But his parents are only interested in the celebrity dancing show, so they happily take up the child minding offer without spending time with Granny themselves. Then the Gran turns out to have a shocking secret, one involving jewel thieving and an unlikely Ninja lifestyle, given her mobility scooter. Well, what is a boy to do but join in the plan to steal the Crown Jewels? I like that the lad is unwilling to hurt his Gran by telling her she is boring. He doesn't say to her face that he hates cabbage soup.

He has an ambition to be a plumber which is far more practical than his parents' expectations. I don't like the relentless cabbage eating. The senior people I know are delighted to be able to eat sweet things, especially since they may have no teeth of their own left to spoil. They also enjoy home baking and fresh garden produce. I don't like the constant mention of bodily odours. I do like the daring raid on the Tower of London. More of that please! There is also a reminder that senior people are not going to be with us for ever, so we should appreciate them. And the amusing lives they may or may not have led. The illustrations are good fun cartoons. By Elango R on September 1, 2013 Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase this review is by my 9 year old as this is his buy. it was a good book though the beginning is a bit boring, it has a good plot and it is also funny.

if i had to rate it on 10 i would say 9, as in the middle of the book i found a very unclear part.I also don't get a part where the boys grandma gets many fake diamonds.But it was a good book which keeps your eyes glued to it throughout. An example of this is his parents love ballroom dancing but he hates it [i mean the boy] but he acts as if he likes it so that he can go to his grandmas house [he hates her in the beginning] but then his parents sign him up for a ballroom dancing competition where he wears a suit with heart designs all around it and dances like a monkey with his tail on fire. So rounding it of the boy hated his grandma and she tries to make him spend more time with her by doing a great robbery which they cannot fail. A good way to spend a sunday afternoon. By ArlingtonMom100 on October 30, 2016 Format: Paperback|Verified Purchase At the recommendation of a cousin in England, we tracked down some David Walliams books, and Gangsta Granny was the first we read.

I read this to my 8 year old son and we both got a kick out of the characters and the plot twists and the irreverent and saucy language. David Walliams reminds me a lot of Roald Dahl which is high praise. David Walliams is our new favorite author! (It's worth noting that some of the language is British English and not American English so we had to figure some things out from the context, but it wasn't a major issue and led to some fun conversations about the differences in the two languages.)

Rating: 4 star Falconer School 16 April 2013 I think Gangsta Ganny is a great book. I read it in a day and it was my second David Walliams book (my first was Mr Stink). I'm looking forward now to reading The Boy Who Wore A Dress. Being an 8 year old, it was like a learning book. At first I thought it was quite exciting but at the end it didn't seem so exciting.

I hope my review will encourage others to give it a try because I thought it was really enjoyable. Rating: 4 star Tameside 1 April 2013 It was an amazing imaginable story!

Illustrated by Quentin Blake and brilliantly written by David Walliams, The Boy in the Dress is full of the sharp humour and vivid characters you would expect from the co-creator and co-star of Little Britain.

Quentin's illustrious black and white drawings are interspersed throughout, forming a perfect accompaniment to this funny and touching story.

What people are saying - Write a review User ratings User Review - Flag as inappropriate Sorry Boys are not to wear girls' clothes; now just because girls are all ways dressing as guys does not make it right for boys to dress as girls. Any parent that encourages their boys to dress or wear girls' clothing is wrong! Two; forcing your boy to cross dress is also wrong, and also wrong for your girls to cross dress as boys - they are girls not boys and boys are boys not girls. Lets quite making our boys and girls a shame of being the boy or girl they were born with, it is sad when a girl or a boy have to pretend to be a girl or a boy; a sad, sad state out country is in and I am sorry to see such nonsense.

Launched to fame with the record-breaking "Little Britain", his characters - Lou, Florence, Emily, amongst others - became embedded in our shared popular culture. You couldn't enter a playground for a long while without hearing "eh, eh, eh" or "computer says no". Yet Walliams is a mystery. Often described as a bundle of contradictions, he is disarming and enigmatic, playing up his campness one minute and hinting about his depression the next.

To read "Camp David" is to be truly shocked, as well as tickled pink, as David Walliams bares his soul like never before and reveals a fascinating and complex mind. This searingly honest autobiography is a true roller-coaster ride of emotions, as this nation's sweetheart unlocks closely guarded secrets that until now have remained hidden in his past. David Walliams is an actor, writer, active fundraiser and - above all - he's a world class comedian who knows how to make us laugh. He performed in and co-wrote the phenomenally successful "Little Britain" and "Come Fly with Me" with Matt Lucas, and recently appeared as a popular judge alongside Simon Cowell on "Britain's Got Talent". He has performed many feats of endurance for charity, and won over the entire country when he swam the Thames for Sports Relief.
